Hello

Everyone

And welcome back to america under the microscope

Hi luilu

Hi jamames

Let's continue or talk about american diners ers advanced version

Last time since we talked

I was thinking about this whole diner as a cultural symbol

And it just reminds me of something in british culture or english culture

The pups um i'm not saying they're exactly the same

But they do have similarities

I guess like the feeling of being

A part of culture

Yeah

Where you're going to bump in you know know frienfriends and other neighbors

You can your family friendly quite

I would agree that would be quite a thing that would be similar to it just he're bonding over coffee and eggs

Instead of kinds of logger or something

Oh

They do have coffee and eggs as well

So let's first of all talk about comparisons

Because i guess even after you research it

Even after listening to us

It's still

Because it's not part of chinese culture

It's still difficult for people to really know the difference between basically what sets dinners apart from other types of places

So let's talk about what is the difference between dinners and fast food joints like mcdonald h down one easy

Oh

Biggest st diffetween dinner and fast food dinrence is fast food restaurant you go up to the counter you order

And then you pick up your food use it down

Also dinners food is made to order

Where it's fast food is not okay

Yes i get it so fast food

It's always

There's no table service

There's no waiters

As a waiters but a diners always have

Always have uh to be honest

Last time

What we talked about two broke girls and then sort of i guess for our listeners

If you watched that show you kind of picture

The diner waireers ses to be like max and carolbut but in my percepthey're always ququite chunky older women

Yeah like a bit scary

But depends where you are

If you

If you were i went to university

That wawaiers role students ow it just depends on true

嗯

Where you are

But how does it compare to realilar restaurant apart from the price well big diners between like a dinner and lets to say at just general casual restaurant um cuisine is one

Because dinners are always americrestaurant

Oh

Restaurants will be anything from italian to cause the other stuff

So you wouldn't have a diner

That serves the italifood food

Chinese food

No

Then you wouldn't call it a diner

Wwant dn't call a dinner

We call a chinese restaurant uh

So it's basically just like american restaurant

Essentially a regular american restaurant with yeah

If we're going to compare like an american dindinverrsuan american restaurant

One of the biggest differences between these two things would be like what american food they serve like an american restaurant or much more likely to get things like barbecue

Barbecue at stake or an americamericger will be at the dinner

I see okay

That's very interesting

I never thought about it that way

Then what is the difference between dinners and cafe es cacaes they serve breakfast

Breakfast food it's a coffee

This is we're going to get really confusing

Because some dinners all themselves cacaes

But they're not cafe

They're not a cafe in the traditional sense

Because the traditional sense of a coffees

You go there to buy coffee

The biggest difference now is in america

If it's a cafe is brustal drinks

So like you don't get your expresss

Or

Or a lot of ay where as a diner well they have coffee

Yeah

But it's going to be america

Um no drip

Oh

Drip coffee

And you going to be big drip coffee

Like i like

If you go to mcdonald's in china

They have the big drip machines

They have the coffee in the pot

If you look behind ind councoune

It's that kind of coe e you find it a dinner

Just like mcdonald's coffee

Nothing like fancy coffee

Nothing like you like

Like starbux

Nothing like costa

And i see

And also i guess viewing about cafe in more like countries with cafe culture caffees are places where you relax some and probably just rebook

You read a book

But i guess that's not what dinners before you go in and you come out

Essentially

Nobody's going to really spend ages and ages in a dinner

Now some people sit they're drink coffein read newspaper

But for the most part people go in

They eat their meal

And then leave um where is in coffee shops in america and cafe

It's just like a cafe

You go to in europe

People go there order coffee set at the table

Spend the whole afternoon

There you have read a book

Work on their computer

Um things like that i know what sets a bars and dinners

A park

It's the alcohol

But what about dinor who which actually do serve alcohol okk

If a dinner serservalcohol

How's it different than a park ar one bar are never never family friendly

Because a can to take your kid okay

If dindinner ells alcohol

It's going to be just simply beer and wine

Um where as a is going to have cocktail

Cocktails

Harder drinks

I say i often wonder is there a specific like hidden kind of

Like class or income

Connotation like dindiners are for example for lack of a better word working class or people with lower income

Because they're cheap no not an america

If dinors are for everyone

If you go to new york

You'll say lawyers next to construction workers eating in diners because to americans

Dindiners there's a place

You get good breakfast food we don't really see it as as like

Oh

You're poor

You eat at a dinner

We don't have that kind of it doesn't have any set of class cannotation to it no just like somebody wants big in an eggs

Yeah

Some very just cheerful good

But would you say that diners that generally a little bit to me

They're always a little bit old fashioned they're ver

That's actually part of the nostlture of them is that they are old fashion

They remind a lot of americans of life

What life would be like in the nineteen hundred and fifties and sixties and because if you look inside the diner in the food

In the diner

The food hasn't changed much in sixty years

Ah

I guess it's nowadays in china

That's getting popular as well

It's the taste from the past that sort of idea

Yeah

So there's a lot of dinner that have this kind of i like to call like past futurism design

Past futurism yeah

So a lot of dinnism have like shininy sver ver curcured angles is very kind of sleak bold print sns

Thethere's all things that they had in the pof or music

This is what is going to be like in the future

So this is what people years ago thought about what future would be like

Yeah Ah

And there are people who go across the country

Just to take pictures of all these different unique looking dinners because the architecture for some of pretty cool

Yeah

Pretintereool does sound like fun

Next time i go to it united states

I would definitely want to go to a few more diners just to see

Especially i

I'm sure

They are some let's say more popular dinners

But probably better designed dinner

It's going

Going to look on you up to find the good ones um

But would you say that they are now getting less popular

They're falling out of favor a little bit with let's say younger crowds

I would say partially it's an american culture to adapt to things

So many dinner are

Are dopting to attract these younger diners by upping their food game

Trying to attract the instagram crowwd

There there a lot lot dinners that are trying do do somelike specispecity stustuff on their menus or super foods

Superfoods yes

Higher quality ingredients

It's like we think of things like spicing it uum let's come on ingredients all organic things like this to grab those young people's money

So like instead of serving bacon

An eg surf me shock

Shooka that sort of thing

Yeah

Kind of it would be like instead of just regular pancakes

This would be whole wheat

Or like rice gluton free pancacaes some whole organic free range cream butterblab blaw pe stuff

That sounds very instagramicand it very inincgming eggs

I would like do don't like bacon and eggs good old fashioned good be honest

That sounds a little bit

Like the transition of some poe traditional old fashion pubs in the uk

To what they call gastro pubs have heard of those it's set of the same thing

They up to game

They up to food game

And then they try to attract more this cerning client tell you

You got to make hehard

You got to adapt to get the clients come you

You going to make any any um

But either way it sounds like a really tough missses diners

It sounds like they have long hours food is cheap

So i don't mention they

Don't make a lot of um

Yeah

But that doesn't stop them from being one of the cultural symbols in america

Absolutely not in fact as as soon as i get back to america

Whenever i can

I'm going into a dinor

And i having a big pancakes

Now sounds about right and acactually make me rave pancakes

Now you don't right for those of you who are listening to the show

If you have ever been to the united days

I've ever tried dinner food

Or if you have anything to say

Or if you have watched the shows like two boook girls want to ask anything about dinors
